Wilhelm Lehmbruck, the artist who designed this wonderful piece of art, took his own child as inspiration for this sculpture. We can see here, how the sculptor manages to combine naturalistic elements with a certain anticipation of what is to come. This little naked boy is looking at something or someone. Who might that be? The child does not show any fear or distrust - it is rather full of calm and ease. It is this atmosphere that surrounds this marvellous piece of art that satisfies every spectator’s eye and that makes it so very special. The sculpture is made of 100% bronze and set on a small marble base.

As all of the bronze products in our shop, this exhibit is hand-cast in our own foundry and subject to our strict quality inspections throughout the entire process of fabrication. All of our sculptures are exclusively compounded with the help of lost-wax casting.

Wilhelm Lehmbruck was born on January 4, 1881 and passed away on March 25, 1919. After having attended various schools for arts and having exhibited in most of Europe’s metropolises, Wilhelm Lehmbruck gained most of his reputation with the help of his life-like sculptures of the human body in all its facets. The naturalistic and expressionistic sculptures by Wilhelm Lehmbruck are mostly described as mirroring pain and hardship, but as we can see in this little boy sculpture, Lehmbruck also created other images, as well. The work of Lehmbruck is nowadays exhibited in the National Gallery of Art, the Tate Gallery, the Lehmbruck Museum, the Museum of Modern Art and the Städel Museum.
